The stolen gun is frosting on the cake. Being a convicted felon in possession of ANY firearm is a Federal felony- usually starts at 5 years in a Federal pen. No probation, no parole. Google "Operation Exile".

What are the consequences of getting caught with a stolen gun especially if you're a felon?

This a serious question? Answer: You get to be an incarcerated felon.

Looks to be upto 5 years for felony possession, 15 years if a repeat offender, plus whatever for unlawful possession, receiving stolen property and any crime being committed with the gun. In short it could be a long time.

clip11, you can't leave it at that. We gotta know why you ask. What's the story?

Anyhoo, first if the felon has been paroled prior to completing the full felony conviction sentence, the remainder gets put on first. Plus, I believe a mandatory 5 years no parole. Then, as stated before, time for receiving stolen property, possession of stolen property. If the stolen gun comes back as being used in any other crime, then the felon is gonna get hit with that as well. In some instances, depending upon the first felony conviction, additional time can be added. For instance, second offense in a gun crime carries more time. First degree felony with weapons and bodily harm could make the judge decide on maximum. If the prior conviction is for something non-gun or non-violence related, the judge may be a bit easier on the felon.

I wanna know why you ask...

I recommend soap on the rope, cause your screwed. If in doubt have the numbers ran by the police first. Its easy. look at the gun, write down the numbers, have them ran. Oh and a dead giveaway its stolen is there are no numbers.
